Why is the administration bringing this up now? The same reason it was brought up earlier: For cynical political gain. That and to paint anyone opposing “progressive” subversion as a racist. [More]This isn't about reducing hate. It's about stirring up more of it, and about historical revisionism. It's about control.

I once worked in a place where, after someone ("of color"??) complained, a co worker who had a small graphic of the stars and bars up on his cubical wall was fired for posting "offensive" material. Mind you, the guy behind me not only had several graphics related to "Aztlan" (the legendary ancestral home of the Aztec peoples. Aztecah is the Nahuatl word for "people from Aztlan. It includes Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Kalifornia) and the "Reconquista" (a radical movement calling for Mexico to “reconquer” America’s Southwest) along with a graphic of Old Glory displayed upside down. When I complained that as an American, a Texan and a veteran all of that was highly offensive to me. Basically I was told either to quit or shut up and live with it. I needed the work so I shut up but I responded by displaying a graphic of the "Bonny Blue Flag" of the Confederacy. The ignoramuses (and, yes, I checked the plural for ignoramus) never made a peep since the only confederate flag they knew was the stars and bars. When I got fed up with being treated like a red headed stepchild (one of VERY few whites working there) I advised the people in the cubes around me plus my supervisor (black) of the graphic. The look on their ignorant, bigoted faces as I left was priceless.
